Why should he be earning anything from it at this point anyway? If I'm paid to build a barn for a farmer, I'm not entitled to a percentage of the farmers profits every year he uses the barn. It's his barn, I just worked to create it. If I'm the camera guy on a movie, I don't get residuals for years afterwards. I get paid for my labour and then move on to the next job.
Aaron Paul did a stellar job playing Jessie in Breaking Bad, but why does that entitle him to rent every time the character is shown somewhere? He was already paid handsomely for his labour. Why should he be paid more when he's no longer working on it?
You are here making an ill-fitting analogy. A barn is both a physical product and a physical space to exist in, whereas breaking bad is a recorded performance. To follow your barn analogy though: You should be paid because this barn only works as long as you are inside it. It relies on you being in it, and you signed a contract that said you'd be paid for people seeing the barn on the person's ground with you inside it. You assumed the person wouldn't move the barn to another person's ground, but they did and now it still relies on you being in it, but you get nothing. At this point you should really be asking why AMC gets paid for having the barn.
Now you're the one making ill-fitting analogies. Aaron Paul doesn't have to do any addition labour each time someone watches Breaking Bad. He's not required to be in the barn, it's just got an image of him painted on one wall.
To over-extend the analogy further; if I build a barn and the farmer agrees to pay me $X for each cow living it, what should happen if he starts storing wheat in it instead? I signed a bad contract, but it's still the terms I agreed to. I'm not automatically entitled to go back and change them.
Yeah, good. Ok.
If you're not interested in engaging with the arguments presented to you by me and other users, then there's no reason to engage in a discussion.
They aren’t changing an active contract, they are negotiating a new one. Your entire argument is “hey you already signed a contract”. No they didn’t. They have something called a union that allows them to negotiate their contracts. No one is breaking their word. They are looking to change a system that favors studio executives, what is hard to understand here for you?
I’m fact, they’ve gone to great lengths to encourage members to fulfill the commitments of existing contracts during the strike. Saying they want people to break contracts or act outside of their bounds is similar to saying that everyone should boycott the movie studios until the strike is over. Nope. The union has not requested that and doing it is counterproductive. Supporting a strike is not a decentralized consumer choice like Xitter encourages. It actually has organization to it.
